Leatrix Latency Fix

Leatrix Latency Fix will reduce your online gaming latency significantly by increasing the frequency of TCP acknowledgements sent to the game server. For the technically minded, this is a program which will modify TCPAckFrequency.

You will see reduced latency in many online games including World of Warcraft, WildStar, Heroes of the Storm, Elder Scrolls Online, Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Rift and more.

Note that Leatrix Latency Fix performs a different modification to the 'Optimise Network for Speed' setting in World of Warcraft. They are not the same thing and can be used together (more information on this in the FAQ).

Simply download the zip file, extract it and then run Leatrix_Latency_Fix_3.x.exe. When the program launches, click the Install button. You will see the status change from 'Not Installed' to 'Installed'. You need to restart your computer (or disable/enable your network card) for the changes to take effect. After that, you can login to your online games with reduced latency.

Your Windows account needs to have Administrator rights to run Leatrix Latency Fix. If you are using Windows Vista or higher and your account doesn't have Administrator rights, you will be prompted for the credentials of an account that does have them.

For reference, the status line in the program will show 3 possible tags. 'Installed' indicates that all network interfaces have been modified for reduced latency. 'Not Installed' indicates that no network interfaces are modified for reduced latency. 'Partially Installed' indicates that some network interfaces have been modified for reduced latency (you will see this status tag if you add a new network card or USB modem after the installation of Leatrix Latency Fix).

Thanks for this! Noticed quite the difference on both my computer, and my wife's. Also noticed smaller pings in Team Fortress 2.
Anyway, old ping: typically 200-250, with it going up to 500 some times
New ping: 55-70, and much more consistent speeds
OS: Vista 32 SP1
